Is rudra pooja more potent than dhyana? For shiv ratri I wanted to do dhyana in the evening. I do dhyana of Shiva everyday in the evening. However, my family wanted me to come with them to our farm house for rudra pooja so I went with them. I was just wondering if rudra pooja is more potent than dhyana or should I have just done dhyana as I do normally everyday? 2 4 replies
Can I fast today for Shivratri? Hey everyone! For me, Shivratri started on the night of the 26th and goes through the 27th for Puja. I was going to fast on the 26th, but I had an overnight shift and felt like I was going to pass out. I’m going to fast instead today, the 27th, until the 28th morning while praying since I don’t have work today. Is this okay? 2 2 replies

Today was special day but I ended up mas*****ing and I'm regretting I have addiction of doing it everyday and not able to stop it.

I'm wondering would God punish me for that because I couldn't even take a control on my urges? How do I end this addiction and resent what I did today? 3 16 replies
Prāyaścitta (atonement and repentance) Namaskaram and Greetings to everyone here! As the title suggests, this post is about ***Prāyaścitta***, for our bad deeds. Many people of our faith argue that the concept of sin doesn't exist in our culture, I just believe that concept of sin is different in our culture from those in Abrahamic religion. While those religions focus more on blasphemous acts, our faith teaches us that any act committed against the calling of our atma/soul is a sin. Keeping in mind above view, I believe I have committed a few... 2 3 replies
